Thanks for all the family news.  And rehab updates.
Lots of lovely Mother's Day  greetings and nice tributes.

Tig sweet note about your's and Camper's moms. May they RIP.
Jim and I are missing our moms, too.  Jim, Faye.  Phyl, Marie. RIP dear ladies.

Lisa such cute names for the kittens. Piper is a fave girls name of mine as is Paige.
 I see  a Silver Tabby in the mix.   :)   Don't even worry about keeping them in 'the pool.  Just let them go and have fun with them. It'll be a hoot.

{{{KB}}}  So much loss, you're due a time out.  Lovely birthday greetings for you and on Mother's Day. You're truly loved here.

{{{Eagles}}} hope you and your mom and a lovely celebration today.  BBQ and homemade layer cake. Is that a Butter Pecan cake?  ;)   Extra hugs and kisses today.

Lani thanks for the Royal Albatross and Mother's Day greeting.

Lori yummie apple fritters

Dinner out tonight---where is a 'surprize' I'm told.

Maggie had Jim pick out a  really cute and sweet Mother's Day card for me.
Was waiting on the dinning room table when I got downstairs this AM.

After a spot of lunch  at Union Station downtown will enjoy  Cenntienial Park since there's a short break in last night's/this AM's rain.

KAREN   You will run into so many personalities with your aides...Went through it for 10 years with my parents....

TSK, you sound like you're doing great, too! And doing a lot! LOL, I see you mentioning following your own orders, instead of some of your doc's.  ;) :D ;D  OK, "missy."  ;D  I'm watching the tennis tournament going on now in Italy with all the top players (diff 3rd round matches showing on cable TV, on the Tennis Channel, and on Bally Sports channel) ...  It's a clay court "warm-up" to the Roland-Garros French Open tennis tournament, which starts 2 weeks from today.

E4E, have a good day with your Mom!

Lani, glad you're home! Hope you can relax some with Mike today before he heads to OH.

Phyl, how nice you get a surprise dinner location tonight. I'm sure it will be divine! Oh, part of my "lost/deleted" post from yesterday included telling you that my resident pair of Eastern Bluebirds brought their new fledgling to forage in my yard a few days ago. It was the "dad" with the fledgling, and was so fun to watch - the first time I had seen one of their fledglings this year... but I haven't seen them since then... timing, I guess.

Tig, rest. I mean it.  ;) :)

Lori, you post the most wonderful mix of food, fun, and wishes! I hope you are feeling better, and you and Destini have a good weekend!

Oldguy, I bet you have been busy, busy in the garden center-related sales! Were there cards last night?

Lisa, I missed which day you're getting your ear tubes put in... glad it's a really short procedure - tho' I know you have to go through the "general" for it.  ::)  Shoot... so much "pre" stuff to go through!! but I know it will go great, and you can have something yummy to eat after, since you have to do the fasting thing before.

Hi SSRL!  :)

Puff, so many bird feeders, so little time...  ;)  ...maybe you can get a helper!  :)

BL, glad Kopje had a blast.  Did y'all do that in the Pickle??




Waving to All the Beakers!  Have a good afternoon!!  :D

Thanks Baz!  Great pictures and brother and sister do look alike in this picture.  His hair isnt as dark as in the eating ones! This little girl is solucky to have these parents!, amazing development.  How is she doing?

Love the saying on the card, count your friends, etc! 

My mother has been dead since about 1958!  I still remember her like it was yesterday. Although .i still miss her I most often think of how wonderful she was and of how much we packed into a few years!

Lisa, good luck on the tube procedure.   Tsk, youare an inspiration on your recovery plan.  Clynn, you are an inspiration on all you do for others!

baz, the kids are so cute! Lil' Punkin is growing up so fast, just like Bella and Baby Bro is getting cuter too! Love the dance recital pic! Bella is in gymnastics, she calls it 'nastics, and she made 6 goals and 3 assists in her soccer game yesterday!

tsk, yes, the deck project is about halfway done, here are a couple of pictures below. Mom's HH girl first put the flat sheet on sideways and had it open at the bottom and tucked in at the top and sides. I would have thought she would put the pillows at the bottom of the bed but no.


Lani, hope you are having a nice Mother's Day with Aly & Mike, and Shannon?!  Thanks for the SP and Mom kiss, kiss video!

Puff, yes, every HH Mom has had was glad to fill the bird feeders! I am still amazed at how much joy everyone gets out of the little one stuck to the front window! Here are a couple of pictures of the feeder, one with a red-bellied woodpecker hanging from it! The other thing in the window is a stained glass window cling of birds on a branch.


Phyl, be sure and tell us where your surprise dinner was when you get home! I totally agree with you, those kittens will be all over the place very soon, and that is when the fun really begins! I just love the way Jeff is so into being a kitten Dad!

Lori, love all the cute Mama and baby animal pictures!

karen, so how was your HH for today?

There goes Iris' egg, she wasn't brooding much. Just being a free woman with a part-time man...   :o

BAZI   That is so great that Punkin is taking swimming lessons.  The pics of her with Lil Bro and Grandma are precious.  She is such a cutie and adorable in her ballet costume.  Thanks for posting them.   Actually today which has been cool and a bit blustery - supposed to rain - NOT Tim dug my holes for my 3 perennials and I planted/watered  so that is now done.  Cleaned out the storage bin on the patio and that was it for today. Enjoy the tennis - Didn't even have time for golf today.

CLYNN   So Bella will be a star athlete in soccer  Good for her.  Bet it's a riot to watch.  Does Erin coach?   Can't wait for your porch to be done.  :)
Such a shame about Iris and her nest.. :'(

Will not be back for the rest of the day so will see you all in the AM  Take care.

Thank you Phyl...and Lani and Baz and Puff....and anyone else I might have forgotten since my post earlier this morning.

SSRL has left after a great time talking in person over a glass of wine and a frozen ice cream cone treat!
She brought me a pulmonaria plant, or lungwort....a perennial I have chosen to sit near the Brunerra plant I planted last year.....both early spring purplish flowered bloomers...will look great!

Food delivery soon so saying night to all and hope you all had a fabulous day.....from the posts so far, it looks like it! :D

Clynn  question. . .How do you get to the feeder to do refills.  Looks like it's stuck about 6 feet from the ground.

I had to retire and buy a new one for the kitchen bay.  Ton had made one from slats of natural wood and clear plexiglas - little teenie holes for nyjer seed, 10 stations.  It must have lasted about 30 years.  Hung off the southside eave of house on a pulley system.  Wide open to the worst of the weather (rain, snow, wind).  So now I have two new ones hanging in the window, other new one about 2 years old, holding about about a gallon of seeds each, one with oily sunflower and the new one for nyjer.   Another wire tube feeder for oily suns from a ground telescoping pole.  I have to be standing at the counter/sink to see who is eating there.  The two big ones I can view sitting leisurely on my bumm at the dinette sipping tea.

Encouraging is seeing the finches waiting and then flying right over once I got new one up and full.  Been up about 10 days now and had to refill yesterday.  Looks as busy as the southern USA border.  AND......There about 8 other feeders in the yard.  AND.....neighbors are amused when I drag around my loaded up Red Flyer wagon from station to station.  Full-time pleasure--love the birds don't we?

Oooops, forgot 3 water features, and one humming bird, and one oriole setup.  AND, truth be told, I've oft times got neighbors, family, and college kids $$$ for some of the harder things.  IE two level water fountain next to the patio, under the a locust tree that likes to shed/clog up.  Too heavy for one person, at least for this one people. 

Enough already?

Karen, yep, you're so right about my LGN's parents.  :)  :-*   She seems to be doing fairly well, thanks for asking. Bone growth (height) is a challenge - very complicated nutrition absorption problems, you know. She is still in the Boston research trial to try to help with that. I haven't had any recent updates on her "numbers" related to that, but it must be helping, or at least not hurting, because she is still participating in that trial. Most importantly, she is a happy kid - energetic, and intelligent, and loves her Baby Bro.  :D  Each new day is a special and wonderful day, with hope for more and better advancements.

Clynn, wowie zowie on Bella! 6 GOOOOALLLSSS and 3 assists!!! Sign that girl up with the pros!!! "Nastics" - LOL! Love it...  :-* My oldest greatniece (who is the twin girl with the fraternal twin brother) loves gymnastics, too! She has enjoyed it so much, that she has stuck with it for several years now! I think she has played some soccer, but I haven't heard much about that with her, so I don't know how much into that she is these days. Your porch project is really coming along - looks great! Nice lookout to your mom's bird feeder! Oh, pooh, poor Iris and her egg. I hope she isn't around enough near you-know-who to re-clutch. Maybe she will be out and about enough for a different male to "flirt" with her.  :-*

KB, it sounds like a very fun b'day visit from SSRL:)

TSK, glad your perennials got planted. You cleaned out the storage bin?!?!?   ???  Good grief, Charlie Brown!  :o  My LGN love, love, loves being in the water! Bad thing is, her CVC absolutely cannot get wet - it's through her upper right chest wall. It has to be covered with a "kind-of-waterproof" giant covering bandage type thing, and then she has to wear a really big heavy deal, full body coverage, dry suit type get-up, we call the frog suit, for her to be able to get immersed in a pool. It's hell to get on, and she hates it going on, but she loves getting in the pool, so she asks for it, and then she can do whatever she wants in the water. It's a pricey thing, made for a child, and a family had it and sent it after their son outgrew it. Your weather today sounds a lot like the weather we had the day we went to the Atlanta Botanical Garden... very cool, with thick overcast sky, looking like the forecasted rain would come down any second. So we were dressed for the cold, wet weather,  but it turned out only to sprinkle lightly from time to time, so we never really got wet, and all the trees made for natual umbrellas anyway. Made for another frizzball hair day for me though. LOL!   Maybe that "Trolls" exhibit will travel to your gardens this coming Fall or next Spring. They will be in Atlanta till Sept. 17th.
